Extra case fan options

[Prime 46]

Hi Im wondering which of the two, the cheaper PCS black fan or the thermaltake tougth fan, is better for the front of my case?

Depends on what case you have, what components are in it, and what existing case fans you have....

Can you post your full specs?

And what case fans are currently installed in the case, and where are they located? What are you trying to achieve with adding additional fans?

 

[Prime 46]

Two corsair fans that came with the case, one in the middle of the front and one at the back of the case

IF I WAS TO PUT ANY additional fans in that case I'd install corsair ones

So should I buy corsair fans from elsewhere and remove them if I need my PC sent back?

Why not just buy Corsair fans off PCS?

Despite some RGB I'm not intrested in RGB fans

Ah ok, gotcha. In that case, personally, I'd just install some sickleflow fans, they're really good at moving airflow and a bit cheaper than corsair fans, but just as good without RGB.

I know PCS say that you should remove anything if sending back for RMA, but with something like this, UNLESS it's a problem related to the fans that you're sending the unit back for, fans is more of a cosmetic thing, there's so little of anything to go wrong with them, especially when there's no RGB. My point is, I don't think you'd have to uninstall them if you were doing an RMA, I'm sure PCS would be fine with them.

But why are you looking to add more case fans? And if you do buy more, have you thought where you'd mount them and in what orientation?

Are these ones good? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-SickleFlow-Black-Cooling/dp/B086RC5BBS?th=1

If you're looking for a budget high performance fan, I'd be looking at Arctic P12s.
